A racing online game is a sort of computer games, either within the first-person or third-person viewpoint, in which the gamer partakes in a racing game with any type of land, air, or sea vehicles. They could be based on anything from real-world racing leagues to fully fantastical settings. Generally, they could be distributed along a spectrum anywhere between hardcore simulations, and less difficult arcade racing games.

General genres

Racing simulators

Simulation style racing games try to convincingly reproduce the managing of an automobile. They often license real cars or racing leagues, but will in some cases use fantasy cars built to resemble real ones if not able to get an official license for them. Vehicular behavior physics are a key factor in the experience. The rigors of being a proficient race driver are generally also included (such as having to deal with a car’s tire condition and fuel level). Proper cornering technique and precision racing maneuvers (such as trail braking) are given priority in the simulation racing online games.
Although these racing simulators are specifically built for people with a high grade of driving ability, it’s not uncommon to find aids that can be enabled from the game menu. The most common aids are traction control (TC), anti-lock brakes, guiding assistance, damage resistance, clutch assistance and automatic gear changes. Racing games are usually piloted completely from the interior driving view, as driving viewpoints from a perspective other than the driver’s are considered arcade.
Some of these racing simulators are customizable, as game fans have decoded the tracks, cars and executable files. World wide web communities have grown around the simulators considered as the most realistic and many websites host internet championships.

Arcade racers

Arcade style racing games put fun and a fast-paced journey above all else, as cars usually compete in specific ways. A key characteristic of arcade racers that specifically distinguishes them from simulation racers is their much more liberal physics. Whereas in real racing (and subsequently, the simulation equivalents) the driver must drop their speed radically to take most turns, arcade
racing games generally encourage the player to \”power-slide\” the car to let the player to keep up
their speed by traveling through a turn. Collisions with other racers, track obstacles, or traffic
cars is often much more expanded than simulation racers as well. In most cases, arcade racers simply remove the precision and rigor required from the simulation experience and focus only on the racing element entirely. They often license real cars and leagues, but are similarly
open to more exotic settings and cars. Races take place on highways, windy roads, or in cities, they can be multiple-lap circuits or point-to-point, with one or multiple paths (sometimes with checkpoints), or different types of competition, like demolition derby, jumping, or testing driving capabilities.
Some arcade racing games increase the competition between racers by inserting weapons which can be used against opponents to slow them down or otherwise obstruct their progress so they can be passed. This is a principal feature in \”kart racing\” games, such as the Mario Kart series, but this kind of game-play also appears in standard, car-based racing games as well. Weapons can vary from
projectile attacks to traps as well as non-combative items like speed boosts. Weapon-based racing games involve games such as Full Auto, Rumble Racing, and Blur.

Sub-genres

On-road-In a car racing game, the primary game-play style is driving the car. Yet, they sometimes offer a secondary option for tuning up the car. There are different standards in winning car racing games, some of which apply to real life circumstances while most are exclusive to the game entirely.
Simulation-style racing games-Racing games that are far more concerned on realism.
Semi-simulation-style racing games-These games are neither simulators nor arcade racers; they stand in the middle of the spectrum.
Arcade-style racing games-Racing games that are not focused on realism.

Street racing games

Sports games

Event racing-Game linked to sports happenings.

Monster truck racing games-To date, Monster Truck Madness is the only monster truck racing game that provides some simulation elements, such as drag racing. The rest of the games are based either on car crush racing or vehicular combat.

Motorcycle racing games

Kart racing games-Kart racers, popularized by (and often credited to) the Mario Kart series, are a kind of racing game that brings the chance to pick up items during the race, and use them to enhance one’s performance in a race, or to assault other players and obstruct their advancement. Like arcade racers, kart racers feature simple racing physics and imaginative environments to race in.
The vocabulary itself was taken from Go-Kart racing.

Water racing games-Racing that occurs on the ocean, in the sea and on other water-based arenas.

Off-road racing games-Off-road racing is a format of racing in which many classes of specially adapted motor vehicles (including cars, trucks, motorcycles and buggies) compete in races through off-road regions.

Futuristic racing games-With science fiction settings, these games take an abstract view to racing and may feature abstract vehicles such as hover-bikes and race in uncertain areas. With out having to follow physical laws, the races and vehicles can maneuver with abnormal rates of speed.

Racing role playing games-Racing games that integrate the aspects of a RPG, such as character features and levels.

Mission-based racing games-Racing games feature the players’ intent to not race around the tracks by
going on a variety of laps, but to pick up passengers to take them to somewhere they need to go or to transport things to somewhere.

Vehicular combat games-In these games, game-play is generally focused on the combat aspect of driving
games, having vehicles equipped with weapons utilized to attack opponents (or the vehicle itself is a weapon).
